I'm more worried that a lad his size has good driving skills lol!!! "You kids complaining about not having anything to do on a Bank Holiday...I remember in my day, my dad and I would stress test cheap plastic watches...that was our entertainment!!"
I reckon you could still bring them back to life if you open it up and put it bavk together again. Those things are surprisingly strong. More torture tests please.
Totally awesome video, and I bet your son loved to be part of this. "Dad, can we do this with those shiny watches too? Please, please, pleeease?!" The dramatic narrative was spot on as well, and if you for instance would've been an American YT:er it wouldn't have sounded as awesomely cinematic and televised the stakes here.
I really enjoy wearing my g shock 5610 but its hard for me to take it to work. I was gonna buy something cheap but yet reliable when in the workshop. Thanks to your honest material I'm going to get skmei. TA.
Enjoy it! Something strange about liking a disgracefully cheap watch, when there are much nicer watches waiting to be worn in the box! Its got a simple rugged charm.
I have a citizen watch that got embedded in my driveway it was 6 inches deep in the dirt and mud it snowed 18 inches that year. It was in the driveway for a year almost to the day. It was about 15 days over. I thought someone stole it from my room on the 4th of July. Ended up my girlfriends nieces knocked it outside when they opened my window while they were playing games and music on my PC's. I got super lucky I was visiting my friend there I had moved out months ago. And someone broke the window so I was cleaning it up and when I thought I was going to pick up a piece of glass. It was the bezel on the watch. I was so happy I started to tear up. My mom bought it for me from the money she got from her inheritance when her mom my grandmother passed away. To my surprise the watch was completely fine. Not a scratch or ding on it.
Madrock channel.did a torture test on the full metal Skmei and it refused to die...even being frozen in blocks of ice and left in the sea....it only died when he set fire to it (not recommended)!
@@watchmewithwatches no sir, seriously that is most interesting act i've ever seen on any watch youtubers period. i really love it very much. i do love out of norm watch youtuber style. i really love to know how tough and durable that timepiece are. it would be better if somebody have the guts to put a test like that to r0lex submariner but i know this wouldn't happen. sorry if my words doesn't seem like the most convincing compliments. please do keep it coming and have a great day sir. cheers.
Well the square has been out forever. Makes sense the Chinese Manufactures copy it so well. Either through copying of a little espionage from hte gshock factories. I think most companies have to know by now that you have to assume anything you make over there you are going to see drawing and old molds make it out of the building at some point. Heck I wouldn't doubt some of these watches are made with old shock molds that got "disposed" of cause they outlived the Casio spec for the mold. Also the movements in gshocks are so old now just about anyone could easily copy that silicon I imagine. I'd be all over these if the OG Casios where not very affordable already but if 20 bucks is you limit I'd say go for it. Other than the possibly the strap its gonna be as good as a ghock for most people.
Had one of these for a while, took it under water and through workouts. I would have been pleased if it actually kept time, since it's a watch before anything else, but no. I'd recommend a DW5600 instead.
Unless you are a wild animal wearing either of these watches, nobody is going to be burying them in mud, throwing them against a brick wall or running over them with a car purposely. Even though these watches are not 100% indestructible, most people who buy and wear them will take care of them for a long time. The only way these watches will be destroyed is if someone actually loses their watch say after it falling of their wrist unknowingly, and maybe this happens on the street where a vehicle runs over it accidentally. Even if one of these watches does get destroyed, they can be replaced rather cheaply. Most people who wear watches will take care of them over their useful life.
one of the best beater watches you can get, wish they would go that bit further and use better Lume on them. Can see these being one of my best budget watches and I have 14 Gshocks and still wear a cheaper beater when at the gym, in the garden or doing DiY.
Although I liked the idea of seeing whether these watches can survive the 'torture', I felt uncomfortable watching the actual abuse. I can't do that to my G-shock.
This video makes me wonder, If skmei can make watches with a good quality like that and for a fraction of g-shock price, why won't they make their own design?.
well that was entertaining it was like a 1950s B movie which I love perhaps do this test with all the watches from Ali express you may reduce your collection thanks for the content made me smirk the wife thought i had wind
Great video as per normal.👍 I do have an idea for a totally unconnected subject. Lume! Why do watch reviewers rave about it? I agree that it may look nice, but apart from that, it's pointless. Yet we have Lume Wars videos. Let me explain; Lume appears on most dive watches, but would anyone dive without a torch? No, therefore rendering the lime redundant. Reading your watch whilst in bed.....prevents a restful sleep. Military operations at night....I'd rather not have anything luminous on me that could identify myself to the enemy 🤠. So I struggle to find it's usefulness really. Perhaps you could make an even bigger name for yourself by slamming it too 🤔
Excellent point Tim, ive said a few times as much as I love lume, its totally pointless for most applications in my life. It a novelty for me, and Im sure many others too.
@@watchmewithwatches With your videos I get the sense that you're simply passionate about watches and you're sharing valuable knowledge and insights in an engaging way. You aren't doing paid reviews. This a deal-breaker for me, the "brought to you by" videos and the subtle (or obvious) entanglements with certain microbrands - they are just ads. I gave up commercial television 30 years ago and use three ad-blockers for a reason. You also avoid the exhausting problems endemic to RUclips. You're staying out of "watch community" BS and you don't talk about your channel. Also I'll add that it's refreshing that your opinions dare to veer away from the dogma that insists that a Casio F91W is amazing when it's crap. And that every watch collection must have a SARB033 (which my accidental three-watch "collection" does) and a Casio Duro (which I've owned). Anyway, enjoying the content, thanks for doing what you do.

They look really tough and only a massive, massive force can take them out. Seems like they're very much worth buying for everyday use. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
i wonder if they are still good watches this 2023?

You’re giving Dan nightmares Jason. Serves him just right for beating you with your Explorer 2 homage review! 💪🏻
Lol, I did make sure to explain, he just said "when are we gonna smash them!"
that would be an interesting video to watch... hmmm... ;)
Im getting a Skmei for work after watching this, save my G shocks
Which one did you get?
I thought you were trying to grow a skmei tree at the start…
It's growing! Lots of baby skmeis! 👶

Thats amazing! What a great story. Thank you for sharing.
If a Skmei can survive being thrown at a brick wall, it can take whatever I can throw at it at work. Just put in my order for one. Thanks.
In your best “In a world...” voice with action movie music. 😂 love it.
Just for historic reference, what car is attached to those impressive rims?
Cannot whack a bit of family fun....looks like you both had a great time my friend....🏴⌚🏴⌚
Very good couple of reviews. I might give these a chance.
How fun watching your son help you!!
🖖🇺🇦🙏
He loved doing this, and still often asks how the views are doing and when I tell him he looks amazed!
Madrock channel.did a torture test on the full metal Skmei and it refused to die...even being frozen in blocks of ice and left in the sea....it only died when he set fire to it (not recommended)!
Wow! Amazing. When my son is 5, I will see how he gets on with a flame thrower. 😉
how about dry sand, wet sand and salty sea water, would it survive?
This was fun....and bet your little boy had a blast 👍
this is by far the most interesting and informative torture and abusive test ever!!! please do keep it coming...
Lol, I don't know whether you are being sarcastic or not! I would have preferred to have done more but managed to kill them sooner than expected.

I have the same problem...I don't care how strong it is if it doesn't work properly😅
How inaccurate does it get? Is it really that big of a problem?

Exactly! It's nice to know it can take way more than it's likely to ever have to endure!

I am using skmie watches. They are good and long lasting.in cheap price
I agree, my dad still uses his and loves it!
Honestly I think it was the water so you should do a full on waterproof test and add more watches
Although I liked the idea of seeing whether these watches can survive the 'torture', I felt uncomfortable watching the actual abuse. I can't do that to my G-shock.
Lol, me neither! Thats why the abuse is only for the cheap options!
Good watches for couples who have domestic fights and you want to save your G shock
Lol
Loved the video..Definitely worth the moneydan well done
Glad you enjoyed it
Skmei, what do they Smael like now
Like old muck
all good fun but considering you have an ongoing warranty issue with san martin they may not appreciate how you treat watches ;)
Lol!
$200.00 or so for a G shock , $10.00 for a Skmei ,it's an easy choice.
This video makes me wonder,
If skmei can make watches with a good quality like that and for a fraction of g-shock price, why won't they make their own design?.
I think designing a watch to a high standard that is unique costs a fortune and requires lots of talent and experience.
But are they mojitoized? One never knows when one may be blending a frozen mojito and have a mishap. Carry on, Sir.
Nice work Dan. Power hose could do with more power btw 😬
Very true!
I never leave home without the emergency Smael hahah
This was a fun video Dan. It reminded me of Avg. Joe Watch Reviews Dead or Alive mini series he did a while back.
Thanks mate
I tought the hammer might reappear 😂
Washing machine test? dishwasher test?
No point, killed them before we got to that. Was gonna put in the washing machine. Maybe my next one on the way can go in there!
well that was entertaining it was like a 1950s B movie which I love perhaps do this test with all the watches from Ali express you may reduce your collection thanks for the content made me smirk the wife thought i had wind
Yes
Are you hosing those down or weeing on them?
Both
I was overcome with a strange melancholy sadness when those plucky little fellows finally expired due to your merciless abuse!........Brute!🙏😢
Very good, from Brazil. 👏👏👏
Test so good 🤣🤣🤣
So this is what the terminator does in his downtime 🤔
i bought green watch and i would like to know if you think i can surf with it
Yeah, why not!
Beacaus she resist at only 5 atm
Sorry for my english
Pop it in a cement mixer for an hour with a load of dirt mud.. Lol
😄😄😄 fun. thank goodness I bought skmei 😁
Good to know but if I fall off a cliff into a peat bog, I won't be checking the time.
Why not?
how to plant watches 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Has estas mismas pruebas con un Rolex,a ver si aguanta.
Same tests with the F91W.
I think chinese watches are great for the price 😊
I though gshock" was just 4 bits of rubber or rubber ring inside the watch case... Nothing special or magical.
It is, the difference with Skmei is that there are no damping plastic and silicone parts inside.
Good or not good ????
Great!
Great video as per normal.👍 I do have an idea for a totally unconnected subject. Lume! Why do watch reviewers rave about it? I agree that it may look nice, but apart from that, it's pointless. Yet we have Lume Wars videos. Let me explain;
